Fished from 11:00am-6:30pm, float tubed for about 3 of those hours at the French Gulch Marina as was told that Crappie are biting. Did see several older guys on docks catching fish on small white mini jigs in about 30ft of water. Tried small minnows for 1 large carp, switched to power grubs for another large carp. Not a single crappie! Water was very cold, and full of small shad. Had Grebes all around me the entire time that I was out there. Every time they would dive down, they would come up w/ a small shad.
Gave up there and fished the aux. dam for trout. Gave it a couple of hours for nothing, and tried piney point until it was too dark to see for nothing. Can't wait for the bass to start hitting again, as I just recieved my new float tube in the mail. Will try it out on Sat or Sun weather permitting.
